Here is the thread for the citizens of PDX and other People who wish to discuss things related to PDX, and anything else that comes to mind :)

First something that I wonder, what does PDX stands for?
All ideas are welcome:crazyeye:

What does PDX stand for?:confused:

Posted the same time :lol:

Arghh!! Hopefully our obvious curiosity will cause Bill to enlighen us.

PDX is the airport code for Portland. Bill in PDX is Bill in Portland.

As usual, the wise and all-seeing Shaitan is correct.

I am pleased that PDX will have it's own thread, as we are right on the frontier of our enemies, though rumor has it that soon, a new invincible fighting force of immortals will arrive in our town.

Bill
Trade Leader

Thank you for revealing the mystery
:D

Hurray!

Go PDX go!

Portland? That makes me a trailblazer fan then? I'm more a soccer guy as a matter of fact...
And why can't we make our 'own' definition? Something like S.P.Q.R., time to fetch my old latin dictionary...

So, how 'bout some city defence?

P.S. Is Bill_in_PDX now our official mascotte:D ?

The citzens of PDX congratulate their mayor crabapple for being the first mayor to open a thread for his people. These actions reenforce the democracy in Phoaenatica and also the pioneerism of PDX people.
:beer:

Wow! Thre is a lot of Portland people here! I live in Portland too! Woho! Go Rain!

thanks all:)

Yes some defence in PDX would be nice, right now it is only 3 warriors to protect the city from the evil Americans. But a Spearman is under production and in 2 turns it is ready to defend the city

Those warriors can't be upgraded to immortals right? 'Cause they're UU, or is that possible under the 1.17 patch?

In other words, we're stuck with cannon fodder. Nice. Go spearman go!

Say, wouldn't it be nice to see a nice picture of our beautiful city in our thread? Inventory, city view...would do it myself, but I can't get that savegame to work properly...

The warriors in PDX cannot be upgraded because the city is not connected to iron at the request of the military department.

Excellent idea about the bird's-eye view, shabbaman.

I going to post it then

Here is the inventory
nice idea :)

Here is city view

Bravo, crabapple. An excellent presentation of your young frontier town. Keep up the good work.

crabapple, as a fellow mayor, I hope you dont mind if I do the same picture set-up for khatovar, may I?

thanks cyc

Immortal do that if you want:)

Greetings fellow citizens!

It is apparent that PDX is the most innovative city of our Empire. I would like to congratulate ourselves with that fact.

What are those pesky Americans doing in our territory? Are those bureaucrats in the military department taking an extremely long coffee break or what?!? (Sorry, I'm a bit frustrated 'cause our entire government quitted yesterday)

2 pesky americans: "Run away, run away!"

Here is a upgraded inventory on PDX I dont post city view becouse it hasen´t changed. We should have an other defence unit. A Spearman is to little and an other unit would make our people happy.

I agree. Can the immortal stay in PDX?

Maybe after that we could poprush us a library. Not that I don't like my neighbours, but apparently some of them ar unhappy. Besides that, our city can grow fast. And with a library the people will flock to us 'cause of our superior culture!

On micromanagment: why are we acquiring resources from the tile due south, when we can acquire resources from the tile located 2 north and 1 west, with the grain and mine?

As a citizen of PDX, I do not think we should keep the immortal in our city. We must sacrifice for the war effort! Our armed forces must launch heroic offensives, not play "Home Guard." We don't want our general called "the King of Spades," do we?

Who cares if the drones riot?
Our fellow happy PDX'ers will dutifully kick the crap out of them.:D
:sniper: :mad:

Here is 3 reasons to have the immortal that the city is building in the city.

1.We get more defence one Spearman is not enough a warrior can reach the city and win on random over that Spearman.

2. We can counter-attack if evil forces are near.

3.It makes the People happy

Mayor, you are sooooo right!

I think it is vital to have a unit capable of pre-emptive strike, because we don't want intruders pillaging our wheat-fields. But my question on the micromanagment issue is still unanswered: is it a dumb question or should I post it in another thread.

By the way, I have a petition for adjustment of the tavern-closing times; last night, I was kicked out of the pub even before I was completely drunk, for city regulations required it to close *early*.

It's a disgrace.

I mean: :beer: , right?

Yes we should change that about the micromanagement thing we would get more of everything if you used that spot there we have a mine and wheat, instead of that spot with nothing on it.
I will add that to my suggestions in the city summeries thread.


Thats a bad thing about the pub:D that they must close early.... hehe

New upgrade on PDX:

Nice wallpaper mayor!

I think we gotta get ourselves a connection to philly for acces to iron... I'm sorry I can't start the 'Go PDX' propaganda before monday, when I can hook up to my university computer with broadband internet.

This sucks.

Greetings,

Think I'm gonna play CIV3 instead...:goodjob:

Shabbaman: Yes I also hate slow connections they are soo annoying.


We will soon have a scientific revoultion in our great nation thanks to the great Libary, next turn we will reach the middle ages an become even greater nation:king:

Here is an upgrade. Lots have happen we are now in the middle ages thanks to the great Libary, right now we have our great Leader in the city. HURRAY HURRAY.

On a micromangement note why are we not using the wheat this would allow PDX to become even bigger.

Maybe we could use that leader to create a promenade alongside the river.

It'd be great! Lotsa pubs and dancings, festivities all night long...it'd be a WONDER OF THE WORLD:

The perpetual feast of PDX!

Yes it would be very good if we had a great wonder in our city. PDX would become even greater:)

Rumor has it that Eyrei will open a pub called 'The mortal immortal' in our beloved city!

The word is that there will be free booze at the opening!

Yes. The Mortal Immortal will be opening tonight at 23:00GMT! There will be plenty of free booze for everyone to celebrate the fact that PDX is no longer a border town!:beer:

Also, the law forcing pubs to close early has been decriminalized, so the party will continue through the night.:D

Yes we need some night life here in PDX. Bless eyrei that he changed the law so now we can party all night long :beer:

Here is the great city of PDX

We could start with an apres-skipub in the mounainous area surrounding PDX.

Here is the upgrade
Why doesnt it have any defence!!! They can walk into our city and take it without a fight that cannot continue.

I run for the people repensentative post and I hope that the citizens in PDX support me in the Poll.

Shabbaman: lol you seem to like pubs:)

We'll have an immortal pretty soon I see. Crabapple, where do I have to vote?

P.S. Maybe I should create an new improvement:

Pub +2 happy citizens -10% productivity

Vote in the Councilmember At-Large - Term 2 thread.

You can always create a mod with the new improvment: Pub
It would rule:lol:

Upgraded PDX

Should't this thread on our great city be placed in the citizens or government thread?

New upgrade
PDX will riot next turn if we not create an entertainer

yes this thread should be moved

"Sir! The peasants are revolting!"
"I quite agree, those disgusting little buggers. Why don't they learn to use napkins sometime...." :D

In my experience, you can't recover from anarchy without first quieting the riots in your various cities. Our first priority should be to settle the riots before they happen, and thusly expediate our revolution.

So someone get to it!

They are rioting!!!!!
but next turn it will go back to normal

We could have taken precautionary action. I do have a new tv now however.

RIOTING RULES!

I plead to all citizens in PDX to vote for me as governor.

Hey crabapple. I just checked the vote and you're in the lead. Wouldn't it be great if you were both mayor of your city and governor of your province. Let's hope you keep the lead. GL!

I too have cast my vote for the mayor of the town that is my namesake.

Fellow citizens, crabapple is the right person, at the right time, to be a governor. Please join me, the Bill that named our fine city, in voting for our mayor.

You can do so here:

Does that mean you want me to change all your votes to votes for crabapple? ;) :D

Heck no. :)

thanks for the support all:)

Yeh it would be great if I win ,becouse I want to stay in PDX, it is such a great city :)

and I want to stay in San Francisco. Works for both of us. :)

Here is the upgrade:

Suggestion: I think PDX would be a good spot for haveing the forbidden palace, currently it would take only 9 turns to build it.

What's up everyone? We should form a city sports team and show those other cities who's boss :)

We should. Besides that, we should campaign for either the forbidden palace or just moving our capital to our great city!

And why not? Isn't PDX better placed than Fox' nest?

PDX RULES THE WORLD!

hehe:) I think it is more likely to have a forbidden palace in PDX instead of the real capital I dont think our president want to move it.
Yeh PDX does indeed rule:D

Upgraded screenshot and once again I think that we should build forbidden palace here.

As long as we are NOT moving our capital, I think that there might be better locations for the FP, because our city is located fairly close to the capital and therefore will not experience high corruption factors. We could build a courthouse however.

And a pub.

But we already have an pub the mortal immortal, shall we have 2 pubs?
:lol:
Here is an upgrade as you can see is that the university will be done in 2 turns and be the first city in our great nation to have an university, then I´am intend to build a marketplace and then a bank to do our city very rich.

We should have some workers irrigate or mine the southeastern plains.

Heck, I opted for the hanging gardens for full time boozing, but noooooo...

I would like to build some sort of wonder in PDX. We could start building a palace, and not finish it, but switch to something like Smith's trading company when the time comes. Of course, lets finish the other improvements first.

Yeh it would be great with a wonder in PDX

PDX have finished the university, the first city in our great nation
HURRAY HURRAY :D

Here is the upgrade:

I've just constitutioned the first fraternity of our nation in our beloved city. Don't have a name though.

Something like Pi Delta Xi might do...

Sounds great? Wanna sign up? We do have some harsh initiation rites concerning lotsa booze.

lol:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here is the upgrade as you can see PDX is building a knight becouse the military wanted it when aztec declared war hopefully
I will be able to change it back to bank now.

Updated stat:
After the bank is completed I hope that we will start prebuilding shakespear theater in PDX

Gets protest at the lack of action here to the central government1

We are size 12!

yep our city is very great:)

I am the newest citizen of PDX. :) I say we build a wonder: the Great Pub! :D

Yeah. Shakespeare's Booze 'n Frats Theatre!

Welcome to PDX Marcus Magnus:D . Yeh a wonder is being built but it havent been decided what we should build, but I hope as
Shabbaman it it will be Shakepears Booze teater:D

im also a new citizen i like PDX.the university,the library
the cathedral and of course the spice!
as a spice trader i am happy we got " spice and im happy about it:i am the the first smilie!
and the marketplace to trade or sell it for high profits that i give to chieftess.

Welcome Philippe Yeh PDX is a city with many things:)

"Spice is addictive and corrupts the body. Spice users die young" - Presidential decree #15.318

Shakespears theater have been built in PDX:D
We have wonder in our fine city and the people of PDX is celebreting the wonder costruction.

Right now we are building the military acadamy to construct glorius armies.

Go PDX go! Check that... looks like the end of the prohibition to me!

Now on more serious matter: micromanagement. Crabapple, can you fix this?
We could change production from one of the mountain areas to the irrigated plains. The workers could irrigate the other plains, or/and Pherris could produce on one of the mountainous areas instead of the irrigated plains they now occupy (within our communal borders: they should pay tribute for that!!!)...
Production will be somewhat lower (although the net effect might be lower due to current corruption), but our magnificent city would increase is size: on the long run, production can be maximized this way.

PDX must think of its future.

About that square that Pherris uses it most use or it will starve. But about the plains, so i can change that there the mine is under construction can swith to the irrigated square, and we need a worker to irrigate the last square.
I will say this when I post next building queues for next turn chat so it will be changed.

Shabbaman, unless we have a hospital then our city won't grow beyond 12 regardless of the food amount; I thought you knew this.

I think he means that when we get a hospital in the city to get full food supply when the city have an hospital so it grows directly

Jeeze, stupid am I!

Accept my apologies you must. Focused on river was I. Failure am I.

Never to be true civplayer am I...

We swiched so Pherris take care of the military Acadamy . PDX our great city went instead for the great wonder of Universal Suffrage.

Thanks to railroading has the production in PDX increased much

Universal suffrage is nearing complete in our great city after that we will build a factory to increse prodution more

It gives me great joy to see my namesake city becoming a powerful center of culture and knowledge in Phoenatica. Thank you to all citizens of PDX for your efforts, and many congrats to our governor and mayor crabapple for his stewardship.

Bill
...yeah, I named this place...in PDX

thanks bill :)

P D X !

Go PDX!

Go PDX!

Go PDX

My dear adamsj, I'd like to point you to the next phrase:

"Well, there's egg and bacon; egg, sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg, bacon and spam; egg, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, bacon, sausage and spam; spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam; spam, sausage, spam, spam, spam, bacon, spam, tomato and spam; spam, spam, spam, egg and spam."

Besides that, I totally agree with you!

Sorry for my inactiveness but I went away, now our great city have completed a factory and now have great production. It has also finished the great wonder universal Suffrage time to party[dance] . it will also rush a hospital next turn to become a great city. And the start the great procject Hoover Dam!

Here is the upgrade

Now when our great city of PDX have completed the hospital it has begin to grow in a very rapid rate, now our great city contains over 1.000.000 happy citizens:D .
Now it is constructing a great dam in the river: the Hoover Dam

Our great city is on the 5 place in the world lets party again[dance]

Hmmm, maybe we'd move the capital to PDX...

EDIT: 100th post in this thread! Rejoice!

Great! Lets continue the great building of PDX!

We have the top population of the top 5 cities! Go PDX but we should be the capital!

I see that adamsj had opened a poll (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25790) on the capital issue! This should be promoted!

Good work adamsj, there should be more citizens like you on this forum!

I like it to be the capital to :)

Good work adamsj, there should be more citizens like you on this forum! Thanks for the support!

I urge the citizens of PDX to vote for me in the normandy election thread so I can countinue to lead PDX and normandy to greatness

EDIT: and countinue as major of PDX

Hoover Dam has been completed in our great city Lets Party [dance] . Now our great city has good production.

When our city has completed Hoover dam we moved one step up in the top five cities. Now it is on fourth place

Now if only we had that pesky palace moved over here...;)

So Crabapple, now you've won two elections (my, you're a popular chap!), will you still be our mayor?

Yes of course :)

Once again I am pleased to see Mayor crabapple re-elected as our Governor. Congratulations to you crabapple on your well deserved win!

Bill
...in PDX, yeah I named this place...

thanks Bill :)

Great lets get the Palace here in PDX, lets use be the top city of the world!

Here is PDX upgrade. our city countinue to grow

Our great city have moved up one place on top 5 cities list now it is on third place in the world, Lets party again[dance]

What's the reason we're not on top? Give us another wonder!

U.N. anybody?

I wouldn't mind seeing PDX have the U.N. within the fine city. It has Presidential support. :D

Make PDX be capital and have U.N to be the top city of the world!

Let's poll it then. We could prebuild the palace here...

or we could use the leader

Upgrade:

BTW, crabapple. Have you checked out the "Top 5 Cities" ratings in the Domestic Dept.'s thread. And as a side note, I voted to keep the Capital in Fox Nest. To me it's the right thing to do.

No that I havent seen, thanks cyc. Our great city is on every list in the top 5 cities. I suggest that all citizens of PDX go and look at the top 5 cities in the Domestic Dept.'s thread.

Why has PDX's population got down!

The evil Iroqouis have invaded PDX and destroyed all culture improvements and killed some people :mad: They shall pay :mad:

Looks like PDX has had it's workers reset

It needs to Produce now, not grow much. I imagine the Library and the Temple would be finished in 1-2 turns, and the figures for the University and Cathedral would be simular, so military production could start very quickly.

Some of those workers on food tiles should be moved to the Mountains.

Have a heart General - let PDX recover it's population. As PDX grows the news laborers will work those mountains. In the mean time the other Norman cities as well as the Istar cities will build forces for you. BTW, isn't Civanatoria, with its ironworks, a top production center, too?

The workers will not change, every time the city grows more production it is going to get. It stays and none will change it, the military have no power over worker squares

Originally posted by crabapple

Please don't get defensive. I was only making a suggestion as a concerned citizen. I understand as military leader I have no true power over worker assignment. I just figured since PDX only lost one pop point it wasn't that important to increase PDX's growth rate just yet, I understand Higher population = Higher production.

Please, NEVER assume I'm giving out orders to you, if I held no official position I still would have made the post I made.

I felt the prioirty at the moment was to rebuild the Culture as soon as possible and then get to military production. If you disagree with my opinion, I can't force you to do what I feel would be best for the time. But please don't get defensive when I offer my opinion.

EDIT: A suggestion since you feel growth is a priority, why don't you try to get a Granary rushed in PDX? This would make sure you can grow twice as fast, by rushing it you only delay the Culture buildings 1-2 turn(s). Or you could even rush it after the culture is complete.

ok, I´am just a bit angry over what happen to PDX. Sorry for assuming you giving orders. About the rushing thing so I can write in the next tiurn chat thread that if they feel like rushing a improvement they do it.

We could build that granary in a very short time, no need to waste valuable funds on that.

Updated as you can see PDX have almost totaly finshed its build up.it needs only temple and catedral so is the city like before invasion and every time the city grows it get much production

As you can see PDX has gained back it production before the invasion and now it is working on our first reasearch lab in our country yeah:D .


Upgrade

Thank you crabapple for your stewardship during a difficult time in PDX's glorious history.

Bill
...in PDX...I named this place

thanks Bill :).

Our great leader have been in the city and help our workers rushing the great wonder: Longvity so lets party again [dance]

Upgrade look at the production of PDX :)

Look at our great city now :)

Aargh!

I've laid in that basement for three weeks, those iroquis torturers tied me up there. Couldn't someone get me out of there?

We didnt know that, we should have helped you if we knew where you where

I'm sure of that. I'm glad that PDX was recaptured or else I might be dead right now.

Or worse.

PDX has risen from the ashes to lead Phoenatica again. All of her citizens should be proud!

Bill
...in PDX, yeah, I named this place

Yeah indeed all citizens of PDX should be pround, here is the upgrade it will only be one upgrade more then it is time to close the great PDX thread

Okay, it's celebration time! Beer on the house?

I'm off to the pub!

It is quite fitting that PDX builds the Planetary Party Lounge.

(No extra charge for the italics Bill. :) )

Thanks donsig!

PDX, I am proud of all the citizens here. Look back at all of the important wonders and contributions we have made to Phoenatica.

Further, this thread itself is testiment to the importance of our city. It is one of the longest running threads in our history, stemming back to the earliest days of our civilization, when a hearty band of folk set out across the hills from Fox Next in search of the open plains that had to be on the other side.

Find those open spaces we did indeed, and in the process, set in motion the establishment of our eastern foundation for success. In those days the Americans and Egyptians...yes, those same societies that now share in our riches...were threating the population of our small town every day.

Now, PDX can be accurately called the cultural, science, and wonder center of our great Civilization.

Not to mention Industrial Capital! :D

Hey, there are three citizens in PDX who are merely content. What is wrong with them?

yes indeed you can follow the city of PDX from the begining of this thread to the end.

thank you all for the support.

the last upgrade, over 100 shields in production[party]
